Before Sayyidunā Khālid Bin Walīd, the war between the Persian Empire and the Roman Empire had lasted for 700 years, during which they fought more than 1,000 battles.

Then came the ‘Sword of Allāh’ and eliminated the two empires in only 4 years!

He defeated the Persians in 15 battles until their state fell, and ended the existence of the Romans that had continued in the East for a thousand years after his victory over them in 9 battles.

Then, when the Persians and the Romans united to fight Sayyidunā Khālid Bin Walīd in the Battle of Al-Firād (12 AH) with 200,000 fighters, the Sword of Allāh defeated them with only 15,000 Mujāhidīn!
